About this blog

This blog is about old trucks and any other historical matters that I feel like writing about. John and I have four old trucks, a 1976 N1025 Volvo, which John purchased new, a 1974 1418 Mercedes Benz, a 1989 Volvo 12 Intercooler and a 1973 F86 Volvo which is also known as 'the Bubble'. John is a Cartage Contractor and has driven and owned trucks for over 50 years.

Haulin' the Hume took place on April 11, 2015. We went up in the car and took about 550 photos, so here they all are, 2 years later! We took photos under a lovely stone railway bridge at Catherine Hill, near Mittagong; then we went to Goulburn and took photos at the lunch spot and then we took photos on the Cullerin range, before the trucks got to Yass for the night.
